The Campaign

Allee Shopping Mall is the first shopping mall in Hungary that allows dogs to enter its premises. But, only dogs...

Creative Execution

The “piranha with the muzzle” was hand drawn on paper (size 50x70 cm), using various ink, dip and technical pens between the size of 0.1–0.7 mm. It took 4 weeks to complete this subtle and complex illustration. The first draft, including the tonal drawing, took 1 week to finish; the final version of the fish was selected form 15 different compositions and types of fishes. After the first draft it took 3 weeks to finalize the drawing. Creating the dynamic lines and tonal composition was an intensive and time-consuming process. The most difficult part was harmonizing the “line” and the “dot” element into a coherent, organic entity. Making the background was the final step, using more than 1 million dots enhancing the subtle and artistic look of the illustration.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The campaign became an instant success. The consumers who brought their dogs to the mall rose by 25%. And many other shopping malls introduced this feature and became dog-friendly within the next 3 month after our campaign launch.

Allee has always been the most innovative shopping mall in Hungary (introducing new services, features to its consumers), so we had to come up something new, innovative - visually, as well. Because we wanted to have a strong impact on everyone who comes to visit the mall.
